hi brothers and sisters I'm not gonna lie I took this video idea from another youtuber
who did a test on water from different fast-food outlets and I thought why not
test the Living Water of God from different Bible translations
so we made
this little game similar to his game I'll put the link below
basically we selected 12 different translations of the Bible well 12
because the 12 tribes of Israel obviously
I asked my sister to read out
my favorite words which is second Timothy one verse seven in all these
different translations
we cut the different versions and pieces of paper
she's gonna give them to me and I'm gonna read it out and judge it and then
I'm gonna guess which translation it is from and I'm going to see which
translation I like best I'm gonna judge it based on the language the meaning
that comes across and how direct it is with the words it's using as you can see
this is very subjective but hopefully as I talk about each translation you will
also get to see which translations you like best so I hope you enjoy this are we
ready -yea we're ready
we're ready so she's gonna gimme translation number one for
God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power love and
self-discipline cool so I forgot to say the meaning that I
love about this verse the reason why I love it so much is because it says that
God has already put in us boldness and love and you know everything we need to
be his and work for him rather than having natural fear and shyness okay
that's the meaning that I love about this verse so I'll be judging everything
based on that so this verse it comes pretty close in all aspects I'm gonna give
it all a ten I think I don't know how much better than this it can get and I'm
gonna guess that this is coming from the NLT version I hope I'm right yes put it
right there so you're the one to beat right now okay can you give me the
second one it says for God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness but of power and
love and discipline similar but language wise the word fearfulness
the thing is the
reason this verse struck home was because people
would call me shy and quiet so the word fearful is not something I
really related to so I'm gonna give it a 5 in terms of language meaning as well
meaning maybe 6 because you know timidity and fearfulness are kind of
similar and directness it is pretty direct I don't know I don't know I wanna
guess I don't know what this translation is something that I've not read before
I'm gonna guess it's GNT I don't think I've read that version before you go behind
babe I'm sorry ready for number three
oh okay by this size I already guess this
is Amplified for God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear
but he has given us a spirit of power and of love and a sound judgment and
personal discipline abilities that result in a calm well balanced mind and
self-control Wow I loved the amplified version because if
you want to go in-depth this kind of does half the work for you but language
wise I don't really connect to it because some words like cowardice we
don't really use but it's very clear on the meaning so in the meaning I'm gonna
I'm gonna give it a 10 language I'm gonna say 6 and directness straight off it's very direct
but then it's taking so many words to say the same thing as the first verse
told us so I'm gonna put 7
where's the AMP
-right away to the AMP
this is the only one I'm like definitely sure AMP comes
second as of now number four God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts but
bold and loving and sensible okay the words that I said in the beginning it
hits very directly on those words so language I want to give it a 10 but the
meaning that I love about this verse doesn't come across so much in this
translation because it doesn't say that God has given us that already
it says God wants us to be a certain way and that kind of take away what I love about this
verse for me so meaning I'm gonna give it
I want to say 2 'coz it's putting the
work on us
I'm gonna give you a 2
- I was just thinking 2
that's sad direct
ness it's very direct I'm gonna say ten oh so because of the 2 this goes way
behind strange it seems very close but very far it seems relatively
contemporary the words shy the word shy so it can't be very old so we
tried to label the Bibles according to their actual translation this is TBL but
the Bible is not TBL because we do not have a TBL but most of the other Bibles are
correctly labeled and you gotta go to the end
five for the Holy Spirit God's
gift does not want you to be afraid of people but to be wise and strong and to
love them and enjoy being with them hmm I like this better than the previous one
because it does mention the word gift so it's like God has already given us the
Holy Spirit but still the other half of the meaning is you need to be and God
would like you to be wise and strong which again puts the work on us so
man the meaning is definitely better for me six for the meaning the language is very
sweet I'm gonna go with seven and directness is very direct I'm gonna go
with 8 what is that total up to 21 huh it's not
worse than the previous thing I read
giving it a 22
just because I'm not
sure which translation I'm gonna go with ISV
just better than you but not the rest
-so next one
number 6
-this might have to go in front
6 is for God hath given hath given oh
Old english for God hath not given us the spirit of
fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind meaning is right on 10 you go
direct Ness sound mind I don't exactly know what that is I'm gonna give that an
eight and language
language an eight it's definitely one of the older versions so
maybe KJV
Oh baby crossed the Amplifier
Amplify not Am...
Amplified not amplifier
7 for God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and
discipline oh I love this I love this
meaning is a 10 directness I think a 9
because I like the word self control more than discipline self-control is
like of your own self whereas discipline is like PT teacher stand in
order you know it's little different
language also a 9 because the first one
said fear and timidity which is very much what I thought I had this one says
timidity oh we have a new second winner I'm gonna say NIV
I'm just gonna guess NIV
do we have the next one kitu -yes the next one is number 8
for the spirit God gave us does not make us timid but gives us power
live and self-discipline nice meaning is there with a 10 directness not so much I'm gonna keep that
an 8 it's a very indirect way I feel of saying that God has given us a spirit of
power love and self-control rather than a spirit of fear and timidity it's kind of
like a like an indirect way but language is pretty understandable so I'm gonna say 9 and where
will you go -she reads the Bible every single hour so
she might get all of those correct no I do think so I don't read so many
translations what could this be I really don't know and I think we don't
have much time so I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say ASV how much did she
get she got 27 which means she's in 3rd place
-Ooo na na na na she must be very happy then
9 for the spirit that God
has given us does not make us timid instead his spirit fills us with power love
and self control uh-huh slightly unsure about the directness
and the meaning so 8 on both ends it's a bit long winded I'm going to say
seven in directness language is fine the spirit that God has
it's very roundabout I'm gonna say nine and who are you where are you from I
think it's very contemporary so I don't know how NET translation is but I
think it would be very contemporary so I'm gonna put you there and you are in fourth
place -which number do you choose
we are in 10 right - so obviously you don't have a choice
give it to me
for God did not give us a spirit of fear but
of power and love and self-control huh this is very close to what I love about
this verse so 10 10 10 no I'm just kidding
I'm missing the word timidity because people
would say I'm always timid you know that's the personal one -that's what she
thinks she is -so language is ten meaning I'd say nine just because it's missing the
word timidity directness 10 again twenty nine
we have a new second winner
I would say you're NASB I don't know why I'm just gonna go out on
a limb and say
oh kutty kutty one over there
-and number 11
for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but
one of power love and self-discipline a bit old in its language I think but one
of power nothing against old language it's very beautiful but I don't connect to it
as much being the age that I am
9 for language meaning is pretty *** on
10 there
I'm gonna give it an 8 for d(irectness)
8 just because it's not better than this
one that's 28 again
so it's tied in in place number three and which one is this
for
-messenger and NKJV
- oh we only have two left okay
NKJV okay you go in NKJV
and you're tied in with place three right yeah
we're onto the last one - the last
for God
has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of sound mind this
is definitely not Message but it has to go in there what do I
rate this though again missing the word timidity why that's an important word
guys timidity adds a new dimension right it's like
it's a new dimension of fear which is missing
we're gonna give you 23
Message where did you go Message it's definitely not
MSG
-awh I think she's sad
yeah I'm sad
when was MSG I feel like I have an idea
which one is number 4
-naw you can't do that you're cheating
-first let me arrange it
-didn't you pray can we not cheat Lord you prayed and now she's
cheating -I guessed which Bible it is in I'm not changing the ranking here -cheating
-I know you're on my side but I'm just gonna go with her because there's no
time left
seventh place no wait before that
I want to guess where MSG is
how about you I think I thought this might be
MSG so I'm gonna switch - Dean you can't do that that's cheating
-the ranking is gonna remain the same but I'm
gonna switch the Bible is a big problem no the main game is to find which
translation is the best not how how correctly can I judge the can I
judge which translation is which that's not the purpose of the game I hope you
are right now MSG
-cheating
there's a big chance I may not be okay let's go
this was taking so long and it was so confusing that we had our lunch and came
back so if you see anything different that's why we've finished putting all the
12 translations in order but I just want to check one last time if I really
ranked it in order because I don't know if I have been biased by the way in which
I was getting it so I'm just gonna see compare it one last time very similar but
I want to interchange these two these two
the AMP hmm
I don't think it should be all
the way here but everything else is so similar however I want to put it before
these two because somehow I don't like the word sound mind as much okay this is
not gonna be exactly accurate but I'm gonna put it before these two and this
one here and the last one God doesn't want us to be shy of these gifts but
bold and loving and sensible similar to the second last one but I really like
these words shy the opposite being bold it goes
second-last instead of last basically that's recording okay let's go
quickly my battery's going quickly kitu tell me which is uh how do I go I don't
need this anymore I'll start from number five the last one
what transition is that I've said it's the ISV -wrong
it's TLB -instead of second last it is last TLB very sorry about
that okay what is number four the messenger messenger Oh
the MSG you mean
-stop being on Facebook so much and stop jumping she's literally jumping
MSG's at the end that's so sad the words are actually really nice but
the meaning is kind of kind of gone
alright what is number two I said it is GNT
ASV American Standard Version you
are wrong for the second time -you mean third time -oh third time
awh ASV is all the way at
the back sorry America
how about number twelve New King James Version my bad
how about number six can I get something right KJV come on have to get the
King James Version right and the answer is
right it's King James Version
everybody clap for me for the obvious answer that I was supposed to get right
number eight what is that it's New International Version you are wrong for
the fourth time -you mean the hundredth time
NIV is in the middle oh where did I
keep it I kept it fourth place and it goes all the way here
good to know
how about number three which I'm pretty sure is right again because it's amplified
and nothing's as long as the AMP number three is
amplified
victory dance -yay
number
nine I said number 9 is NET good news translation
wrong alright GNT is over here
what about
number seven number seven is
new American Standard Bible
which I actually love by the way
this is the Bible I'm using I'm just changing the tags right now but I really
love the NASB version it's really cool getting near the top these are the top
rankers now number 11 number 11 what did you say it was -right
it's wrong number 11 is International Standard Version
-oh not bad I should read this
then International Standard Version hmm how about number 10 new English
translation -oh the NET which I've no clue about must
read this too and finally please be right number one and I think I am right
cuz we finished everything else thank God I'm right it is NLT right -yes
yeah no it's not NLT -yes it is -it's not NLT
-it is NLT my all-time favorite worn-out Bible which I should
be knowing so no big points for that it is NLT right you're supposed to tell me
supposed to be happy for me and all -it's not it's new NLT
she obviously doesn't
know anything about Bibles let's clap for her everybody -how dare you
-clap for her
-alright so let me
so this is the this is the kind of
order according to me and according to this one verse which is not a very good study
I went from NLT
all contemporary versions I think and
then the amplified and then NIV after the AMP whoa KJV NKJV both of them so
close yet so far
and MSG very surprising this one I thought she'll be way up here
but hmm there's some verses I think which you can read and feel wow that's a new
revelation but for this particular verse
camera died on me
anyway I was saying MSG though I love the
translation it works very well for some verses but for this particular verse the
meaning that I liked didn't come across so sadly that was the one surprise everything
is some of it I didn't even know properly but this no surprise that's why it's worn and
old and looks diseased from all the reading
but yeah I'll put the list on the screen
and I hope this was helpful and even possibly enjoyable for you to watch thank you
so much to my sister who made so much of this possible
she read out all these things to me and I wrote it down so that I wouldn't know
which translation it's from and so thank you Kitu
-that's what sisters are for sweety
